Testing Mobile Analytics Applications

Before deploying an application to mobile users, you should test each application by performing a download (with or without test data) and running the mobile application independently of the Disconnected Analytics Application Manager utility. Conducting a test in this way validates the mobile repository, Web Catalog, and tables before deployment. If you do not want to set up the database tables separately, you can test the application as a mobile user.

To test a Mobile Analytics application

1. Identify a machine on which you will test.
2. Install the Analytics Server components on this machine.

   For installation instructions, see Siebel Business Analytics Platform Installation and Configuration Guide.

3. Use the mobile repository and Web Catalog on this machine, in place of the Siebel Business Analytics repository and Web Catalog.
4. Set up the database connections on the machine to point to your test mobile database.

   If you manually load test data, you can validate your Web Catalog.

5. Start the Analytics Server and Siebel Business Analytics Web services.
6. Login to each application and run queries.
7. Debug when errors occur.
